When the Work's All Done - Johnny Bond[00:00:01]

A group of jolly cowboys[00:00:04]

Discussing plans at ease[00:00:06]

Said one, I'll tell you something, boys[00:00:09]

If you will listen, please[00:00:11]

I am an old cow puncher[00:00:13]

And here I'm dressed in rags[00:00:15]

I used to be a tough one[00:00:17]

And go on great big jags[00:00:20]

Now I got a home, boys[00:00:22]

And a good one you all know[00:00:24]

Though I haven't seen it since[00:00:26]

Long long ago[00:00:29]

I'm going back to Dixie[00:00:31]

Once more to see them all[00:00:33]

I am going to see my mother[00:00:35]

When the work's all done this fall[00:00:37]

That very night the cowboy went out[00:00:58]

To stand his guard[00:01:01]

The night was dark and cloudy[00:01:02]

And storming very hard[00:01:05]

The cattle, they got frightened[00:01:07]

And rushed in wild stampede[00:01:09]

The cowboy tried to hit them[00:01:11]

While riding at full speed[00:01:13]

While riding in the darkness[00:01:16]

So loudly did he shout[00:01:18]

I gave his best to head them[00:01:20]

And turn the herd about[00:01:22]

His saddle horse did stumble[00:01:25]

And on him he did fall[00:01:27]

He'll not see his mother[00:01:29]

When the work's all done this fall[00:01:31]

Fred, you take my saddle[00:01:52]

Jim, you take my bed[00:01:54]

Johnny, take my pistol[00:01:57]

After I am dead[00:01:59]

Think me so kindly[00:02:01]

When you look upon them all[00:02:03]

I'll not see my mother[00:02:06]

When the work's all done this fall[00:02:08]

Send my Mother my wages[00:02:10]

The wages I have earned[00:02:12]

Cause I am afraid, boys[00:02:14]

My last steer I have turned[00:02:17]

I'm going to a new range[00:02:19]

I hear my Master's call[00:02:21]

I'll not see my mother[00:02:24]

When the work's all done this fall[00:02:26]

Charlie was buried at sunrise[00:02:28]

No tombstone at his head[00:02:30]

Nothing but a little board[00:02:33]

And this is what it said[00:02:35]

Poor Charlie died at daybreak[00:02:37]

He died from a fall[00:02:39]

And he'll not see his mother[00:02:42]

When the work's all done this fall[00:02:44]
